Abstract
The shell model has been particularly successful in describing the structure of states near the doubly magic 208Pb core. In particular semi-empirical calculations are able to reproduce the yrast states in the three valence proton nucleus, 211At to a high degree of accuracy. Recent spectroscopic measurements using a variety of novel reaction mechanisms have provided information on the related A = 211 nuclei 211At, 211Po 211Bi and 211Pb allowing a comparison between the data and the results of semi-empirical calculations. While good agreement is observed for the lower spin yrast states, the calculations predict the presence of isomeric states not yet completely characterized in the current experiments.
